love of the common people

Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do

Tears from your little sister

Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go

But you know she'll get by
Cause she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

And she can

It's a good thing you don't have busfare
It would fall through the whole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
You gotta walk into town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm when the hole in your shoe
Let's the snow come through and chills you to the bone
You better go home where it's warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
Just take 'em in stride
For family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray it's making it strong where you belong
And we're living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can

And we're living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can
